Molon Labe
"Molon Labe" is an expression of defiance originally attributed to King Leonidas of Sparta that translates from Greek to mean "come and take [them]." The phrase is common among gun rights advocates and anti-government extremists who use it as a rallying cry against imagined threats of gun confiscation as well as proposed gun control measures.
